A family of nine killed in Syrian regime bombardment of the rebel enclave of eastern Ghouta near Damascus overnight, where air strikes and fighting have persisted despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding a 30-day ceasefire.
The bombardment of eastern Ghouta over the past week has been one of the heaviest of Syria's war, killing at least 522 people in seven days, according to a toll compiled by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based war monitor.
